Hi Anne. The Dollar Tree charges $1.25 for everything that used to be a dollar. And now the pizza price has gone up. Is it a trend? What can we buy for a dollar now?

Love the newsletter,

Jennifer

Your posts are hilarious. I read Google Reviews sometimes and the absurdity of people raving about Domino's Pizza or something like that. Your brothers expression is choice as if contemplating whether he can taste the hint of maltodextrin. I've got a son who works in a biz involving commodities like corn. I'm guessing the average American eats 3-5 ears of corn in a year yet they grow 3500 bushels for every man/woman/child. I guess that is what maltodextrin is :) oops pounds not bushels, still depressing

This article brought me sheer delight!

In particular, the situation with the marinara sauce and cinnamon bread. "Necessity is the mother of invention" comes to mind. It inspired a haiku..

Hmmmmmmmm Cinnamon Bread...

The Icing Is Wasted.... AH!!

The Marinara!

In addition, the picture of your brother and his wife and the salty hot beverage is perfect--their facial expressions perfectly convey a surprisingly salty Cafe Con Leche.

Lastly, I'm impressed what gets people to give McDonalds a 5 Stars. I wonder if I opened a restaurant and simply was liberal with sauce distribution if that could get me 5 stars?

I've heard about the all-potato diet before, but never tried it. I'd have to have more than hot sauce on my spuds, though!

So so funny! Glad we revisited the Fr. Mike's potato diet. Looking forward to further Cafe Bustelo reviews, will be an emotional roller coaster.

You can never go wrong with a food issue. Krazy or otherwise. Your brother - killing it with a philosophy I totally endorse: I would never buy it. It's reprehensible. But if you got it, I'll take it. 🤣🤣 That sponsorship is in the bag!

Is it me, or has Father Mike seen the Martian a few too many times? Maybe the next time you talk to him, he'll look like Matt Damon.

A couple of corrections (what can I say, big Penn fan). His last name is spelled Jillette. The potato diet mentioned in his book "Presto" was done for 2 weeks at the start of Penn's new eating plan as a sort of "reset" to the taste buds. From that point onward, he did Eat To Live (Dr Fuhrman), and I imagine he had potatoes now and then as part of that, but not exclusively. He has since moved on to Dr Greger's "How Not To Diet". At least, that's up to date for the end of 2020 where I'm at for his podcast. :D
